Ok thank you both! I really don't see us doing much other than trail rides and parades anyway, now even more so...

Honeyblue...Yes he is quite fat in those pics too much spring grass and not enough work. I wish I had another pic to post to see if it was just the way he was standing. Maybe I will ty to take some today on the flat concrete...now his front end has me worried.

Trixina...thank you for the link! Very interesting and explains a lot!

Like I said I know he isn't perfect, but kinda dissapointed that he could have soundness issues in the future He is such a good horse...
